It's a big missed opportunity they didn't include the ability to stream from your home console. I have the Xbox app sideloaded for that, but it would have been nice to have an official solution.
What's the quality, latency, etc with the xbox app side loaded? I really don't want to have to pay for the monthly subscription to use game pass if i don't have to. I agree, missed opportunity here!
It's Xcloud, the same app that runs Xbox Game Pass on your phone. Streaming from your home console is only available on the PC Xbox app. The "sideloaded" Xbox app you used was for Xbox One and Rift, it no longer works on Quest.
@@torrez2000 The "Xbox app" side loaded doesn't work on Quest, I've tried. It was for Xbox One and Rift only, when you try to start it now it does nothing.
@@acurisurYou can stream your console on phone app as well... Also Xcloud not available in all countries so when you travel or you live in non Xcloud country then at least streaming from console or PC is way to go, but since it doesn't have it then it's pointless app for these countries
@@TRX25EX Well in my country there's no streaming from console to phone app, just the PC app. As for this being a pointless app for countries with no Xcloud, well yes. That goes without saying. Just like anyone with a Quest 2 would find a MR app for Quest 3 pointless. You just don't download those apps. As for why there's no Xcloud in some countries? No idea, your only option there is to ask Xbox support.
I set this up on Quest 2. Approving my gamepass account was a little clumsy with the 2fA requiring me to take the headset off for face recognition, which then caused the app to stop working. The controller setup process caused my hand controls to dissapear and I had to restart the headset. However, I did get it all working and.... WOW. really impressive. I tested Forza Motorsport and it seemed pretty responsive! I think this will work better with 30fps adventure games or turn based stuff but it all works, and well! Nice job MS/Meta
Great! Also, having the screen border or some other 3D game specific decoration like a funko on selected games would be neat. Perhaps even merchandise that temporarily appears on all rooms of a multiplayer session.
IF u have problems with lag etc? Its actually YOUR connection. This thing works flawlessly with absolutely no lag whatsoever. And minimallatency...as long as you have a good connection.. the only problem that may arise is right at the beginning when ur setting up.. after that its smooth...so do not blame the app....ive played about 7 different games for a couple or few hours at each sitting and not once did a problem arise. Perfect!!
I glad this popped on my feed! I've been checking almost everyday to see if it would be released! They didn't even make an announcement on the meta quest channel to let us know it's out which is really weird since they are partners.
Great to see an official app. Looking forward to some new environments you can play in but also I do like the passthrough option. Would be nice to be able to pin your screen to a wall and also have the option of customizing your own display size including a flat screen and not curved . All improvements I'm sure are in the backlog.
I used to have game pass. It's a pretty great deal. Could you make a video about the new SteamVR wireless desktop VR game streaming app for Quest? It came out recently.
I'm assuming you don't! MS strat is to be able to play on any device. You just need Gamepass Ultimate! I don't have an Xbox but use "Xcloud" on my phone. The same app technology the Quest is using.
Odd, I'm having the exact same controller issue you're having in the video. Problem is, i can't fix it like you did. I connect the controller in the xbox app, it connects but then it won't work in the app when i start a game. If i connect it outside the app, i shows the controller as found as well, but doesn't work when i launch a game.
@@cyberd3x193 it's working now. I noticed that once I paired it inside the Xbox app or Quest home, when I turned the controller off and back on, it wouldn't connect to the controller anymore. Not at all, like it wasn't paired at all. So what I did was forget the controller, pair it again and then without launching Xbox, turn the headset off and back on. Once I did that, turned on the controller and it connected to the headset. Then I launched Xbox app and it worked, first try.
Ok, a bit unrelated, but. Gamepass has No Man’s sky. Gamepass is now on meta quest. No man’s sky already has vr modes for PC and PSVR. So bro, I really want them to make a version for Quest, at least quest 3.
I had the same issue what I had to do was unpair all the controllers that I tried and then reboot my quest 3 and then repair the controller and it worked great
0:54 FML my elite controler is not bluetooth >_> i guess i will have to try and use wire with it though the point is probably cloud gaming ? but i have a good pc for vr and gaming i will stick to VD lol
I wonder if in the future you can play games that are regularly compatible with VR with Xbox cloud gaming. Like No mans sky instead of the screen it would be the full VR Game
It would be awesome if part of the Microsoft agreement would be to include on gamepass the Oculus PCVR games like Asgard's Wrath 1, Brass tactics, Stormland. And why not? A quest 3 and a xbox controller bundle to make a marketing statement.
Great, I'm very happy with it. I sometimes play Play Station games flat on the PSVR2 and I always love the experience. Being able to also do it on the Quest with the games from xBox Game Pass ultimate is very good
I never could get my Xbox series x controller to pair. Looks like the issue happened to you that I had but you went through the pair and it worked. For me it just lost connection over and over
@@ContrastCopyit's not actually, I tired it using Virtual Desktop with 5G network, there's no noticeable latency at 90fps AV1..... If they use AV1 it will be great

I cannot get hand tracking to change screen size on my quest 2. I can get the menu to work. I even switched it from left to right and still not working
You have to side load the Xbox app if you want remote play. This kinda sucks and I'm not sure why they won't allow remote play and only cloud streaming locking you into a sub. I have ultimate for the next few years paid but hopefully they will add it in the future.
When u make ur account for game pass I see it saumy xbox PC and stuff do I need to click on there for one for the quest or I can go pass it and just hit the join button will it work still for my quest 3
Huh, will have to try this out. EDIT: Okay, tried it out. Wish it supported streaming content from your console it's self too. The games I'd be most interested in playing this way are not available as cloud streaming, or require too fine of twitch reflexes for cloud gaming's known input lag issues.
Been having controller problems. Where it pairs but sent recognized on the xbox apps. They used to work. Was using apk xbox apps and after an update a while ago they stopped recognizing the controllers. I mean it would work like a mouse basically. Havent tried the new app tho. Used the Fluid app and had it working. Cloud gaming blows tho. There a delay.
I just can't get my xbox controller to register as connected. It shows up I connect and then when I go to play a game it says not connected.. anyone having the same issue?.
@@jjoseph2267 welp, I grabbed it. Have not tried yet. Fingers crossed. My concern is that I really want to use it for work as well as play and am a little worried about feeling sweaty and hot after an hour or 2. But it certainly seems more capable than the brainless glasses. I guess if I want to connect directly from my series x to it instead of cloud gaming I will just have the side load the android Xbox app. I wish through were better integration with my IPhone, but I can understand why. Fingers crossed and thanks for the feedback.
xbox on quest is cool... but i want quest on xbox! imagine if instead of making their own headset, xbox just added support for quest headsets. that would be amazing.
The input delay with ur controller is sooo bad and annoying. Fortnite and rocketleague are a no go. Some adventure games are fine tho but I hope theyll fix that somehow

This should have came with at least a month of ultimate free so people can try it. The Rog Ally came with 3 months and so did my gaming laptop. Just 1 month at least would be a great way to get people trying it on the Quest and possibly turn them into customers. 🤷♂️

Well that’s honestly a big point of xcloud. You can always just pay for the subscription when you want to play the GamePass games anywhere without an Xbox

Cloud streaming only from Game Pass cloud servers. Works completely independently of your local Xbox.
